Sample Wisconsin Passenger Test Questions

Question 1

What shape should a bus driver look for when identifying standard hazardous materials labels on cargo?

  1. A Circular
  2. B Diamond
  3. C Rectangular
  4. D Triangular

Correct answer: B – Diamond

Standard hazardous materials hazard labels are diamond-shaped, or square-on-point. Bus drivers should watch for these labels on cargo and baggage because most hazardous materials cannot be transported on a bus. A driver should not accept hazardous material unless the applicable rules allow it.

Source: Wisconsin Commercial Driver’s Manual — § 4.2.1, “Hazardous Materials”, 49 CFR § 172.407(c) – Label Specifications

Question 2

Which explosive is identified as an exception to the prohibition on explosives in the passenger-occupied space of a bus?

  1. A Fireworks stored in the baggage compartment
  2. B Any explosive with a shipping label
  3. C Small-arms ammunition
  4. D Any explosive hidden from passengers

Correct answer: C – Small-arms ammunition

Federal passenger-vehicle hazardous materials rules identify small-arms ammunition as a permitted explosive exception, subject to applicable transportation requirements. The CDL manual tells bus drivers that explosives must not be carried in space occupied by people except for small-arms ammunition. Proper labeling alone does not make other explosives acceptable.

Question 3

Which item is not included in the manual's list of bus-interior parts that must be in safe working condition?

  1. A Handholds and railings
  2. B Floor covering
  3. C Emergency exit handles
  4. D Air conditioning

Correct answer: D – Air conditioning

The bus-interior checklist specifically includes handholds and railings, floor covering, passenger signaling devices, and emergency exit handles. Air conditioning is not part of that particular list. The question concerns the components named in the checklist, not whether other defects might require attention or repair.

Question 4

When must a commercial bus driver use the driver's seat belt?

  1. A Only while traveling on an interstate highway
  2. B Whenever operating the bus
  3. C Only when carrying passengers
  4. D Only in heavy traffic or bad weather

Correct answer: B – Whenever operating the bus

Federal rules prohibit operating a commercial motor vehicle equipped with a driver's seat belt unless the driver is properly restrained. The requirement applies whenever the vehicle is being operated, not only on highways or while passengers are aboard. The Wisconsin manual also directs bus drivers to always use the driver's seat belt.

Source: Wisconsin Commercial Driver’s Manual — § 4.1.5, “Use Your Seatbelt!”, 49 CFR § 392.16(a) – Use of Seat Belts

Question 5

Where must standing bus passengers never be positioned?

  1. A Ahead of the standee line
  2. B Between the front and rear wheel areas
  3. C Behind the standee line
  4. D Near seats behind the driver

Correct answer: A – Ahead of the standee line

No passenger may stand forward of the rear of the driver’s seat. In Wisconsin, a bus designed for standing passengers must use a two-inch floor line or another marker to identify this limit. Every standing passenger must remain behind that standee line.

Source: Wisconsin Commercial Driver’s Manual — § 4.2.3, “Standee Line”

Question 6

Which condition must be verified before moving a passenger bus?

  1. A All emergency doors and windows are closed
  2. B A rear emergency exit is left unlatched
  3. C An emergency window is propped open for ventilation
  4. D Emergency exits are secured with cargo straps

Correct answer: A – All emergency doors and windows are closed

Close any open emergency exits during the exterior inspection and before driving. Never operate a bus with an emergency exit door or window open. The exits must also operate smoothly, close securely and have working warning devices.
